What Traffic Light Allows U-Turns?
1 Answers
As long as there is a U-turn sign at the intersection, you can make a U-turn when the light is green, provided it does not affect the movement of straight-going vehicles. Normal situations where U-turns are allowed: Dedicated U-turn lanes: At many road intersections, there are dedicated left-turn or U-turn lanes. In such cases, you need to signal your intention to turn and can make a U-turn without interfering with other vehicles. Areas without explicit prohibition of U-turns: While driving, if there is no explicit sign prohibiting U-turns, you can make a U-turn as long as it does not disrupt the normal flow of other vehicles. However, be cautious about crossing lines to avoid penalty points. Intersections with U-turn traffic lights: It is common to encounter intersections with dedicated U-turn signals. Follow the signal to make a U-turn, but ensure the light is green when turning left. Additionally, you must use the designated lane for U-turns; otherwise, it constitutes a traffic violation, which may result in fines and penalty points if caught on camera. U-turns allowed at yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines indicate no stopping zones, usually placed at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops, such as near important institutions, government offices, or schools. Therefore, you can make a normal left-turn U-turn at yellow grid lines.
